OWNER COMMENTS
Since acquiring "Sparky" in 2012, her third owner from new, I spent the first four years stripping out the accommodation, cleaning and repairing the inside of the hull. The engine and ancillary gear was removed and overhauled. Port holes were removed, overhauled and replaced. The centre board was removed, overhauled and re-fitted, also the stern gear was renewed and the engine professionally re-built. The hull was shot blasted and re-painted below the waterline too.
The WYLO II is an iconic offshore world cruising boat made famous by Nick Skeates. WYLO II's can be found sailing all over the world oceans.
